Answer:

C.ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i.e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.

What is the wavenumber of the radiation emitted when a hydrogen

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the radiation = $1.634\times 10^{-18}J$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.634\times 10^{-18}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=12.16\times 10^{-8}m$

$\bar {\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{12.16\times 10^{-8}}=0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Thus wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

3.8mL of 0.42 phosphoric acid is required.

Reaction

2H3PO4 + 3CaCL3 → Ca3(PO)4 + 6HCl

moles CaCl2 =0.16 mol/L x0.010 L = 0.0016 mol

moles of H3Po4

= 0.0016mol of CaCl2 x 2 mole of H3PO4/3mole of CaCl2

= 0.00106 mol

V of H3PO4 = 0.0016/0.42 = 0.0038L = 3.8mL

V of H3PO4=3.8mL

A cylinder with 10 mL of coconut oil has a mass of 9.3 g. What is the density of the oil? Round to the nearest hundredth.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.93 grams per milliliter

Explanation:

Density is the division of mass by volume. It is how "hefty" an object is; for example, wood isn't very "hefty" but metal is. The density is measured in mass over volume, so it is 9.3/10. After applying units, it is 0.93 grams per milliliter.

What relationship exists between an enzyme and a catalyst?

shepuryov [24]

A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
